Every New Movie and TV Show Coming to HBO GO and HBO NOW in March

A new month is here, which means a fresh slate of HBO's usual range of high-profile originals and first television runs of major films. Here are all the movies and TV shows arriving on both the HBO GO and HBO NOW apps in the month ahead.

Highlights

Alien: Covenant (available 3/3)
Ridley Scott, who unknowingly kicked off a franchise with his original 1979 space horror, is not on this planet to service fans. He has issues to work out with men, machines, and the tangible universe, and Alien: Covenant (a direct sequel to 2012's Prometheus), will disappoint anyone looking for wall-to-wall Xenomorph carnage. With big ideas on his mind, Scott recasts Michael Fassbender as his idea engine, the actor's diligent, lifeless android Walter pit against David, the defiant robot from Prometheus. His baroque bravado sets the tone for the entire movie, while his humanoid costars exist so Scott can rip them apart in excessively giddy and gruesome displays of violence.

Barry, Series Premiere (available 3/25)SNL vet Bill Hader stars in a dark comedy about a hitman who takes up acting, which he believes to be his calling. It isn't! But that doesn't change his convictions -- the show will probably be a relatable allegory for anyone who's taken an improv class.

The Zen Diaries of Garry Shandling Parts 1 & 2 (Part 1 available 3/26, Part 2 available 3/27)
You might not think the world needs a four-and-a-half-hour documentary about the late, great comedian Garry Shandling, but Judd Apatow does, and when the director/comedy cartel boss wants to make a movie, he makes the damn movie.

Girls Trip (available 3/31)
Holy shit, this movie is funny. Riding the most basic premise (four friends take a wild vacation in New Orleans!) to the most obvious conclusion (they have a blast, then they get upset, but in the end, they're best friends!) director Malcolm D. Lee and the four female leads bring the R-rated comedy back to where it belongs: a perverse wonderland where dick jokes slay and spray-peeing on a crowd of unsuspecting bystanders is a religious experience. Girls Trip is as pure as Old School or Bridesmaids, and like both, it boasts a breakout star, this time in the hilarious Tiffany Haddish.

Woman Sings Hilarious Song About Being Alone on Train, Then Realizes She's Not Alone

It's a fact that human beings get super weird when they're alone -- especially when they have public spaces all to themselves. It's a real treat to flaunt how fundamentally bizarre you are deep down with no repercussions except suffering through your own singing voice. But most of chose not to document this sacred time.

One brave woman named Stevie took a different approach. And we're all better for it.
